[quote=Luddite]My Bro in law had a pair of Linn Isobarik with a valve pre-amp and of course a Linn plater of sorts with all the attendant then top end kit... He same age as myself bought an LP every weekend from age 14, and when CD`s came along he was buying up all the LP`s almost by the box load for not much money, thus ended up with a loft full of vinyl, though the Isobarik`s were the thing that really impressed given the amount of air they are bound to shift when a big base not comes into play...?[quote]
I have a set of those here at the moment. They have had replacement drivers which were a swine to find. Driven by an active triple amp system. They do indeed make the house shake. Not the most transparent source but they kick some big bottom. Always loved ESL's but was a bass freak from an early age. Bass-o-matic Fascinating Rhythm cracked a window pane.
